I originally wrote a book in my name, and it was pulled into Goodreads from Bookbaby - I didn't manually add it. I want this version of the book "Youngtimer" deleted from my account, as well as the cover, because I decided to use a pen name, and I now have the book in Goodreads under my pen name.

Fulton"? If it was available under your real name for three years then I think we are going to have to keep it under Glynnis Rogero. New editions can be under G.G. Fulton.

In some cases, a book may be originally published under a pen name, but then later reissued under the author's original name. When this happens, the author listed for any and all editions should be the author name the book was originally published under - so the reissued edition would need its primary author name changed to the originally published pen name, with the additional name added as secondary for all editions with it on the cover. Doing this will allow the various editions to be combined.

It IS midnight 'round here.
Thank you - When I published book through Bookbaby it sold 2 copies - one to me and one to my granddaughter. When I found out about Amazon KDP I decided to use a pen name to keep it separate from my adult books. After telling librarian, I rec'd the advise that since no one really bought the book that I could just open new GR account, so I am confused. Isn't there any way to get my real name off because the whole idea of using a pen name is to keep my bio, etc. separated. Also, I don't want my children's book on my real name GR acct. Help!
Sorry, but I just thought of one more thing - the originally published book was changed by 75% when I changed to pen name.
GR keeps a record of all books published, Librarians will not remove names that books where originally published under, number of sales is not relevant.
